title: Zeolite-supported rhodium complexes and clusters: switching catalytic selectivity by controlling structures of essentially molecular species.
abstract: Precise synthesis and characterization of site-isolated rhodium complexes and extremely small rhodium clusters supported on zeolite HY allow control of the catalyst selectivity in the conversion of ethene to n-butene or ethane, respectively, as a result of tuning the structure of the active sites at a molecular level.
